Provinciales ATV, Boat & Snorkel Adventure to North Caicos
A full-day loop from Grace Bay to North Caicos that combines reef snorkeling, ATV buggy touring, flamingo and turtle viewing, private beaches and a beach BBQ—perfect for travelers who want marine life and sand-swept speed in one packed outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect coral and your skin—apply reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply after snorkeling.
Wear closed-toe water shoes
Sand, shells and rocky reef approaches make water shoes useful during transitions between boat, reef and ATV.
Take seasickness preventative
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication at least 30 minutes before departure—the crossing between islands can be choppy.
Carry ID and small cash
Bring photo ID for pickup and small bills for tips or local purchases at beach stops.

Conservation Note

The islands were first inhabited by Lucayan people; later, salt raking and small-scale plantations shaped the economy before tourism emerged.
